I just can't listen to it anymore after the BBC forced Robin Ince out because he expressed support for trans people. And I was a huge fan.

Just re-listened to episode 3.2 (series 3 Ep 2) of THE Infinite Monkey Cage. Young Squire @robinince.bsky.social I’m sorry I forgot just how riotously funny this show was. (I mean, pretty much every episode of every series) Is there anything now you would “un-invent”? www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Programme “poster” for THE INFINITE MONKEY CAGE with photos of the heads of presenters Robin Ince and Prof Brian Cox and other stuff like test tubes and other drawings of the world of science. Link to BBC sounds episode

The bbc has changed the photo for #THE_INFINITE_MONKEY_CAGE on bbc sounds here is the original photo.

Original photograph from BBC Sounds showing a clean-shaven Robin Ince and Professor Brian Cox both staring into the wide blue yonder appears with the infinite monkey cage name and graphics of molecular structures, test tubes with bubbling liquids and a ringed planet and a number of science based drawings.

It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come. ~ H. H. The Dalai Lama

A drawn image of The Buddha with his eyes closed and without neck or body, in green and blue hues. (Forgive me I’m male and don’t have the extra cones on my retinas that female humans have) it reminds me of oxidised copper. Such as the Statue of Liberty in New York which is only useful if you have been sighted. Please feel free to chastise me and hopefully educate me on how I should describe images for those of us who have limited or no sight.

Hello slice of lemon! I mean moon. Not sure if the colour change is due to smoke in the atmosphere or I’m being lazy and shooting through the double glazed door. (I don’t open because it’s an absolute pain to close)

The moon is at the top left third of the image. (roughly). Photo shows suburban housing and trees in the north western UK and a nearly half moon (44% according to the app I have) in a cloudless sky which if zoomed in on the moon looks yellow like a slice of lemon.
All feedback from partially sighted and anyone else about this description will be welcomed and appreciated. If possible included into future descriptions. I just hope it helps.

“The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.” Elbert Hubbard It’s ok not to have all the answers. To change our mind. To need more time. To still be learning. To get it wrong. We’re human, not perfect. 🧡 #kindness Art by positively positive

Illustration on a soft pink background featuring a takeaway cup decorated with seashells, starfish and coastal patterns, topped with a swirl of whipped cream and a blue straw. The cup reads, “hey, it’s OKAY…”. Alongside is a list of reminders including: if you don’t always get it right, if you love routine, if you find more than one answer, if you put pressure on yourself, if you feel unsettled or unsure, if you can’t quite decide yet, if you keep repeating mistakes, if you struggle to open up, if you want something new, if you don’t feel grown up, if you forget to stay present, if you would rather go it alone, and if you are still evolving. The image reminds us that these experiences are all part of being human and that we can offer ourselves kindness rather than criticism.
